bell opened the division campaign in
K%ingsbury county by q speech here last
night. The general is one OF Dakota's
ablest speakers, and is very popular In
this section OF the country. In his open
ing remarks he said that his being as.
signed to this country was no work OF
his, as he considered it needless to take
up his time in speaking to people who
were already unanimously IN favor of
the movement. He said his address
would be more like o conference with
frienaH than a political speech. He was
very attentlvely listened to Throughout.
At the close the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Resoleed, That we want division of
the territory and ADMISSION as two states
to HaYe taxes, to govern ourselves. and to
secure for the northwest her lust voice
and power i'll the nation.
Resotued, That in our opinion division
will strengthen our means of protecting
aud conserving the great water ways OF
the northwest, which are OF vital impor.
lance to transportation in this agrioul.
tural region.
Resolued, That 70 protest against
the policy of the administration in with.
holding III constitutional rights, IN
sending non.residents to rule over MS and
to interpret our laws; and in pervertine
and misapplyng the land laws for the
evident purpose OF checking the growth
OF TIE northwest.
R.sot0ed, That the administration
binds us while powerful monopoIles fast
en- themselves upon us without constitn.
tional restraint.
Reso9ped, That while We know our
people to be for division, We favor q full
vote to swell the territorial majority.
